8. Envelope shape is variable per stage.
Each stage of an envelope is now variable from -100 to +100%, as illustrated
below:
A Value of 0% in each stage will correspond to a linear slope. A linear slope goes
straight from point A to point B, and is your general plain-vanilla envelope slope.
Values from -1 to -100 in each parameter corresponds to a negative exponential
slope, represented previously as -Exp. A negative exponential slope is bowed
upward—it rises quickly at first and then trails off. This mimics the charging
characteristics of electronic capacitors, which were used to generate envelopes in
vintage analog synthesizers. This slope is good for making your attacks extra-
snappy.
A value of 1 to +100 represents a positive exponential curve —it starts off slowly
and bursts up at the end. If you are designing a sound to build toward a crescendo,
this might be slope you need. You don’t need to learn the names of these slopes,
though, since you can always see your envelope pictured on the display as you
edit it. Just adjust the slopes until you see the one that looks right.
9. Added “Mono Low” and “Mono High” keyboard modes to Phrase Sequence arp.
When a phrase arp is set to either "Mono Low" or "Mono High", a phrase arp will
follow only the lowest or highest note, respectively.
